Bronzeoak Group Limited – Privacy Policy

Introduction

Bronzeoak Group Limited (“Bronzeoak”) is committed to safeguarding your privacy. We believe that the best way to protect the privacy of users of www.bronzeoak.com (the “Site”) is to inform you of the information we may gather and ensure that you understand and consent to Bronzeoak’s uses of information you may provide.
 
Bronzeoak may occasionally modify the Privacy Policy and the revised Privacy Policy will be posted on this page so that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances we may use or disclose it.  You should check the Privacy Policy frequently to be informed of the latest version.
 
Please note that the Site contains links to and from other websites.  Bronzeoak takes no responsibility whatsoever for the privacy practices or the content of other websites and the information practices of those other websites are not covered by this Privacy Policy.

Frequently asked questions about Bronzeoak’s Privacy Policy

What information does Bronzeoak collect?  How is this information used?
 
When you visit certain parts of the Site, we may ask you for certain information such as the name of your organisation, contact information, telephone numbers, your email address and your location.  This information is stored on Bronzeoak’s database.  Subject to the uses of this information to which you have consented, the database enables Bronzeoak to use your personal information to track activity on the Site.  This, in turn, enables Bronzeoak to serve you better, by understanding how you and other visitors use the Site.  When we collect personal information we make an effort to include a link to this Privacy Policy on that page.

Bronzeoak will only use your information for the purposes set out below if you have indicated that you consent to the use of your information in this way when submitting the information. Please let us know if, at any time, you wish Bronzeoak to stop using your information for any or all of the below purposes.  Bronzeoak will stop the use of your information for such purposes as soon as it is reasonably possible to do so.  Bronzeoak may, from time to time, use the information supplied by you for:

(i) market research,
(ii) responding to feedback,
(iii) informing you about our services which may include contacting you by telephone,
(iv) giving your information to affiliate offices which may be located outside the European Economic Area (EEA) to enable them to send you information which may be of interest to you or to contact you regarding your query,
(v) sending you client bulletins or information that may be of interest to you.

Does Bronzeoak share the information we receive?

Save as described below, Bronzeoak will not otherwise disclose information about your individual visits to the Site or information which identifies you to any third parties unless we have your prior consent or unless requested by local regulators and law enforcement officers or required by law.  However, certain functions such as hosting, storage fulfillment and disaster recovery may be provided by third parties to Bronzeoak in order to provide an efficient service.  Where this is the case, we will ask such third parties to agree to protect data as Bronzeoak has agreed in this Privacy Policy. 

Your Choice

You are permitted by Bronzeoak to opt-in to receive certain communications from Bronzeoak. If, at any time, you want to opt-out of receiving communications from Bronzeoak or you no longer wish your feedback to be displayed on the Site, please let us know and we will change your Preferences as soon as it is reasonably possible to do so.

Are there any security issues?

Bronzeoak takes the security of your data seriously.  Once we receive your data transmission, we make our best efforts to ensure its security on our systems.
 
It is our policy to virus check documents and files before they are posted on this Site.  However, we cannot guarantee that any documents or files you may download from this Site will be free from viruses.  We do not accept any responsibility whatsoever for any damage or loss caused by any such virus.  For your own protection, you are advised to use virus-checking software when using this Site.  You must not post or provide us via this Site, any document or file which you may have reason to believe may contain a virus.  You are required to perform a virus check on any document or file which you intend to post or provide to Bronzeoak via this Site.

Unfortunately, no data transmission or security program may guarantee 100% security.  While Bronzeoak strives to protect your personal information at all times, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so entirely at your own risk.  You remain fully responsible for the security of your computer at all times.

Worldwide transfer of your data

The dynamics of the Internet may mean that information provided by you to Bronzeoak may be sent electronically outside of the country where you originally entered it.  In addition, such information may be used, stored and processed outside the country where you entered that information.  There is a risk that countries to which information is transferred may not be subject to an information protection regime as rigorous as that of the EEA.  However, Bronzeoak will take reasonable steps to ensure that your information is treated securely and adequately protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy.  If, however, you are resident in the EEA and you do not want your information to be transferred outside of the EEA please do not send us personal data.

"Cookies"

"Cookies" are small packets of information that are stored by your browser on your computer's hard-drive.   Though most web browsers automatically accept cookies, you can usually change your web browser to prevent that.  Bronzeoak only uses cookies to keep track of the Site pages visited by you, and whether you have visited the Site previously.  This enables us to serve you better, by understanding how you and other visitors use the Site.  However, you may modify your browser preferences to accept all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is set, or to reject all cookies. The Site is set up so as to notify you before a cookie is used. If you choose to reject all cookies, you may be unable to use parts of the Site.

Your Consent

By using the Site and submitting your information, you consent to the collection and use of your personal information by Bronzeoak and the potential transfer of information submitted by you to the Site to countries outside the EEA as described above.

The accuracy of your personal information

We aim to keep our information about you as accurate as possible. If you would like to review or change the information you have supplied to Bronzeoak, please contact us.

Change of legal ownership

In the event that Bronzeoak merges with, acquires or is sold to another entity or goes into bankruptcy or engages in other such business transactions, we may share files and email records with our business and merger partners.

Online data

This general Privacy Policy only applies to the collection of data online by Bronzeoak.  It does not apply to offline information, which is governed by the relevant local data protection laws. 

General

Bronzeoak may amend or supercede this Privacy Policy by a specific privacy policy for the collection and use of other data.  Where this Privacy Policy is amended or superseded for the collection and use of other data, Bronzeoak will draw your attention to that amended privacy policy.
